Tevin Willock Sentenced to Seven Months’ Imprisonment for escaping custody

In a decisive ruling at the Magistrate’s Court of Antigua and Barbuda, Tevin Willock of Green Bay has been ordered to serve a seven-month custodial sentence after admitting guilt to two criminal charges. The verdict was delivered on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, by Magistrate Mighty following Willock’s confession to the crimes of Escaping Lawful Custody and Malicious Damage.

The judicial proceedings revealed that Willock executed an escape from the St. John’s Police Station, subsequently evading authorities for a period before his capture. Law enforcement agencies initiated an extensive manhunt, issuing public alerts and conducting specialized operations to secure his apprehension. The breakthrough occurred when police units focused their efforts in the Gray’s Farm district, successfully locating and returning the fugitive to custody.

Magistrate Mighty imposed a six-month incarceration term for the jailbreak violation, supplemented by an additional one-month sentence for the property destruction offense, mandating consecutive service of both penalties at His Majesty’s Prison.

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has formally acknowledged the collaborative role played by community members in facilitating Willock’s recapture. In an official statement, the Police Administration expressed profound appreciation for public cooperation, emphasizing its essential contribution to law enforcement effectiveness and the preservation of societal security across the nation.
